Pros: Very functional, solid, durable, and well-designed
Cons: Outdoor cooking is less convenient than indoor cooking
Summary: My wife and I wanted an outdoor grill we would use regularly, not just for occasional summer holiday gatherings. Our Weber charcoal grill fits the bill perfectly.

I wouldn't use a gas grill regularly. If ... read more

Pros: cooks evenly, cleans up easily, doesn't let grease drip
Cons: none found
Summary: When our gas grill died, I thought I'd be lost. I just love to barbeque!
Actually, our gas grill died long before it stopped working. I'll explain. All gas grills have the little red push button ignitor. Ours died about one month after we ... read more

Pros: Great food, easy heat control
Cons: You need to wait for the coals to get just right
Summary: I've often considered purchasing a gas grill but my husband is a closet pyromaniac and he gets his kicks from dumping excessive amounts of lighter fluid on charcoal and torching it...I guess I shouldn't complain, it's a fairly safe outlet...and I do get ... read more

Pros: Well made, traditional
Cons: heat up time and ash disposal
Summary: I prefer charcoal to gas and my Summer requires a Weber Grill. Charcoal grills take a little longer to prepare and disposing of post-cookout ashes is also a problem in some communities, but nothing says "Summer" like a BBQ.

Pros: Compact, Efficient, Improved Air Flow, Strong Grill Surface, Easily Assembled
Cons: Can be Messy to Clean Ash
Summary: Preface
If you have ever owned a Weber or know someone that has, you probably have heard stories of people keeping and using their Webers well past the first ten years. This is not total fantasy. My uncle has had his now for upwards of twenty. ... read more

Pros: Charcoal flavor, very durable
Cons: Ash catcher needs improvement
Summary: Back in '89 I had a brand new gas grill - but not for long. One day I clicked the ignitor and WHOOSH! The pressure regulator had malfunctioned and the gas flame looked more like a blow torch. Needless to say, I sold that grill and switched to a Weber ... read more

Pros: A classic barbeque-- great all around
Cons: can't find any
Summary: Although a gas grill heats up more quickly and there are models with more gadgets and dials than my dashboard this kettle grill by Weber makes a great barbeque. A kettle grill of this size is good for small barbeques, my husband and I fire it up for ... read more

Pros: Cheap, tough, and wonderful.
Cons: My husband won't let me cook on it...
Summary: The black Weber kettle that sits in our backyard is no doubt dearer to my husband's heart than anything since he sold his Harley years ago--and he is definitely fonder of it than me and the kids, most days. For anyone but the apartment dweller, this is ... read more

Pros: Moist meat
Cons: it doesn't belong to me!
Summary: The neighbors were lighting up their WEBER tonite and threw some steaks on it-I asked real nicely if I could put my chicken on it and they said yes. They are sweet. It saved me from having to cook the chicken in the oven and often if comes out too dry. ... read more

Pros: cheap and easy
Cons: none.....takes a little practise to get the food perfectly cooked
Summary: Nothing says summer like sprinklers, the smell of new cut grass, and a good, old-fashioned cook out.
Two years ago, my husband and I became first time home owners, and as silly as it may sound, owning a grill was just part of our American ... read more

Pros: Durable, barbecues and smokes quite well.
Cons: None
Summary: Once the temperature reaches 75 degrees, I say, "So long," to my stove and enthusiastically welcome my Weber back to full cooking duty. Grilling beats cooking on the stove or in the oven in the heat of New York summers, and most of our summer ... read more

Pros: Taste, ease of use
Cons: Ash clean up
Summary: I love my Weber. Although not a thing of beauty or art, the Weber is a standard, a necessity.
You can't cook something up quickly or at a moment's notice. You need to give it a while to heat up the coals, and then the grill. But most of the ... read more

Pros: Cooks great
Cons: lighter fluid taste
Summary: From 1970 to 1995, I had my Weber. The kettle was like new each year when I gave it a bath and scrubbing. I replaced the grill top 4 times in the 25 years I had my Weber. Boy, could I make a mean turkey in that kettle. Succulent and tasty, all in ... read more

Pros: Cooks beautifully.
Cons: Um, not exactly terrific for the environment.
Summary: I just came inside from taking out the garbage, and as I do every week, I looked at my Weber charcoal grill and said to myself, "I really ought to take that thing inside in the winter." But then I said to myself, again as I always do, ... read more

Pros: Versatile, quality product
Cons: Charcoal hard to use when weather is damp
Summary: Through the years we have had several grills. The first ones were hand me downs from family members who had purchased something new for themselves. Most of them didn't last long as they were pretty worn out to begin with. Eventually, we decided to ... read more

Pros: Durable, Reliable, and Delicious
Cons: Costs a bit more
Summary: First off, I think grilling with Charcoal is more than just mechanical cooking. I think that there is some science, some art, some luck, and generally lots of good food involved in Charcoal grilling.
First, the science. The Weber charcoal ... read more

Summary: People laugh when we tell them that we still use our Weber charcoal grill. Our Weber is sixteen years old and has outlasted two gas grills. As far as we are concerned there is no comparison between the two type of products. Cooking on charcoal far out ... read more

Pros: Great for direct and in-direct cooking, also easy to add wood for smoke flavoring.
Cons: My lid doesn't fold to the side but I do have an "antique".
Summary: I bet my charcoal Weber is at least 20 years old. I absolutely love it. While most of my friends have switched to fancy gas grills I think I will hold on to "old reliable". Sure, its a pain sometimes to rake out the ashes, wait for the ... read more
